Summary "Antoine of Oregon: A Story of the Oregon Trail" by James Otis is a historical narrative aimed at children, written in the early 20th century. This engaging tale follows the journey of a young boy named Antoine Laclede, who embarks on an expedition along the Oregon Trail after the tragic death of his father. As the story unfolds, Antoine takes on the role of a guide for a party of settlers, navigating through challenges and dangers as they travel towards the Oregon territory. The opening of the story introduces readers to Antoine as he reflects on his proud heritage as the son of a fur trader. It sets a grim yet hopeful tone as Antoine faces his father’s legacy and the responsibilities that come with being the man of the house after his father's murder. As he dreams of adventure and a life beyond St. Louis, he encounters John Mitchell, who seeks a guide for his traveling party. Despite initial hesitations, Antoine's resolve to care for his mother leads him to accept the challenge. The stage is thus set for an exciting journey filled with perilous encounters with nature and Native Americans, as well as the trials of being a young boy in a world that requires immense courage and resourcefulness.
